Our recent Texas drive from Kerrville to Terlingua was a long one, and we spent some time as a family recounting our best memories of the #gates50states project to this point. It’s been quite the adventure!
Lincoln’s were his climb on Mt. Rainier in Mt. Rainier NP, Washington; witnessing the Old Faithful geyser at Yellowstone NP in Wyoming; the colorful rocks in Glacier NP in Montana: the Louisiana food, and the Mississippi beach.
Lydia recalled the Badlands buttes in South Dakota; Devil’s Golf course as well as Badwater Basin in Death Valley NP, California; climbing in Theodore Roosevelt NP, North Dakota; and seeing moose in Colorado.
Henry remembered the World War II Museum in New Orleans, Louisiana; the Lake Ozette Trail in Olympic NP, Washington; Legoland in San Diego, California; Storm King Trail in Olympic NP, Washington; and the Gateway Arch at Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis, Missouri.
It’s a funny thing. Some of these memories were predictable by Jenn and me, while others were kind of off the wall to us. But they’re their memories, and one of the key objectives of this whole project is creating memories. Mission accomplished.
We still have many states to go. Stay tuned for more.
